Seamless steel pipe, oil pipe, drill pipe, wire shelves ...... 2010 block of steel products in the United States "iron curtain" keep growing. Chinese steel product export enterprises worried.
Who is next?
Local time on January 5, U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the value of imports from China will be more than 300 million U.S. dollars of steel wire shelves initial charge from 43 to 289 percent anti-dumping duties. The day before, the United Steelworkers and the four U.S. companies to anti-dumping anti-subsidy (dual) to investigate a request made on the drill pipe collection from 109 to 274 percent of the tariff.
January 6, the domestic steel mesh Chief Information Officer Xu Xiangchun told reporters: pipe subjected to two-class products, the future remains high against the possibility of the investigation. In fact, the hardest hit pipe products precisely because of China's leading steel product exports to the U.S.. According to my steel web statistics, from January to November 2009, China's steel product exports to the U.S. list of finals are all tube Class: Seamless and 40.1 million tons, steel pipe fittings, tube sets for the 143 thousand tons.
Last five months, the United States has used to investigate the dual weapons, the Chinese steel product exports to the U.S. took turns beating.
U.S. exports to China just the United States heavily taxed oil well pipe, began non-stop turning to China's copper exporters. 6 U.S. Department of Commerce preliminary ruling, Mexico's imports from China and refined copper pipe seamless anti-dumping duties, in which the tax rate for China from 10.26 to 60.50 percent.
Xu Xiangchun, said: "Those who occupy the market segment in the U.S. high share of steel products is also very dangerous."
US-bound pipe or by "burning bridges"
Since 2009, the United States provoked the high frequency of dual investigations against the wide range of rarely seen in recent years, but dual investigation, "conviction" that the United States "Iron Curtain" stretching direction still be tracked.
Pipe products in 2010 against the U.S. pair of high-risk areas surveyed. Xu Xiangchun told reporters, "In the recent U.S. steel products of pairs of anti-investigation, pipe products are the hardest hit, in the new year, suffered another pipe products against the U.S. dual high possibility."
As early as November 5, 2009, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced on the oil pipe on dual anti-dumping case, the preliminary ruling, affirmed that China exports to the U.S. oil pipe product dumping, imposition of 10.36% -15.78% punitive tariffs. December 31, 2009, the U.S. International Trade Commission endorsed the decision.
Xu Xiangchun stressed pipe products have become the dual hardest hit because before this round of financial crisis, U.S. domestic oil industry has experienced a boom on the oil well pipe, oil pipe surge in demand for the product over its domestic production capacity, which leads to a large number of Chinese products into the U.S. market.
Therefore, "the causal relationship must be clear." Xu Xiangchun said was the United States take the initiative to introduce Chinese products, and in severe recession today, but in turn, blame the Chinese pipe products dumping the U.S. market is no different from burning bridges.
In addition, Xu Xiangchun Journalists from China's iron and steel products accounted for U.S. market share on the start, pre-sentence investigation against the United States two main objectives of the future.
According to the U.S. dual investigation of prosecution and trial procedures, when a product segment in the United States to occupy a sufficient share of influence, the prosecution prove that the impact of the United States constitute the domestic industry, U.S. Department of Commerce and international trade office will Double anti-ruling set up the final determination, imposing extra duties.
Xu Xiangchun said from that point, China's steel producers and exporters now need to check their exports to the U.S. product catalog, if a product has been occupied in the high share of the market segments, and now it is necessary to guard.
Never give a trade war
Frequent outbreaks of dual investigations, has disrupted the domestic steel industry people. In the reservoir for iron and steel trade Co., Ltd. Wei Li Li manager, told reporters that since the financial crisis, domestic steel production and trade enterprises inventory backlog already very serious, but successive dual investigations more difficult, even those not directly affected by the double Anti-affected enterprises, now is also a great psychological pressure.
Recession is a natural breeding ground for trade protectionism, so Xu Xiangchun for the Chinese steel industry in 2010, the export outlook is not optimistic: "the next two years the steel industry, trade friction may be more serious than in 2009."
But more serious is that the U.S. antidumping and countervailing cases often become the benchmark reference of other countries. December 23, 2009, Argentina had already walk on the tires safeguard the United States followed the announcement of Chinese origin tires start anti-dumping investigations. The Chinese steel industry, originated in the U.S. "iron curtain", can be sure will not spread worldwide.
Sino-US steel trade on frequent "accidental discharge" of the occasion, Foreign Trade and Economic Institute of International Trade and Economic Professor Yao Xinchao but still think that media should not lightly US trade war, "this is still far from a trade war, a single products can only be regarded as trade friction, and only when the two governments are directly involved in trade disputes when the large, can be called a trade war. "
But Xu Xiangchun said the two cases in the inevitable anti-political factors, the United States in the anti-dumping anti-subsidy investigations mainly to protect domestic industries and government-sponsored, so whether the price of Chinese products in an anti-dumping is not the crux of the problem. He said: "The dual nature of the investigation is not the economic problem but a political problem."
